Description

Discusses Beatrix Farrand's upcoming visit to Dumbarton Oaks to talk with Mildred Bliss about studies for new buildings, revised drawings for the Ellipse, revised planting plans for the North Vista, the possibility of raising the North Vista walls, the question of walls for the Herbaceous Border, the enlargement of the Catalogue House, and the wall at the north end of Melisande's Allee.

Mentions the State Department is still moving material out of Dumbarton Oaks and Beatrix will be staying at the Mayflower Hotel.

An "appeal" letter for funding was probably enclosed and is no longer with letter.
